MXR M-135 Smart Gate Effect Pedal

If you're addicted to the indispensable juice of a high gain amp or a string of stomp boxes, you need this pedal. Because along with your hot-wired tones, you're probably getting a generous helping of noise. Equipped with 3 selectable types of noise reduction, Hiss, Mid, and Full, the Smart Gate bites down on sizzle and hum but lets the smallest detail of your playing through. With its uncanny ability to sense precisely when - and how fast - to engage, this little genius will never get in your way, so you can wring every last bit of sustain out of that chord without being cut off.

Originally designed by Scholz Research and Development, the Smart Gate has been completely updated with a hardwire bypass, precise threshold trigger, and cleaner circuitry. Open or closed, it adds virtually nothing to your signal. They've also squeezed this baby down from half space rack size to a slender stomp box, leaving plenty of room underfoot for your freshly tamed effects.

"Happy new owner of MXR M-135 Smart Gate Pedal"

Overall:
Does exactly what it is supposed to and what description says. I keep at the end of my pedal chain and it gets rid of all and any noise based on how I have it set. Couldn't be happier with this pedal!

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"great pedal"

Overall:
i just got this pedal yesterday and honestly i was thinking of returning it because ive heard most noise gates are a piece. but this pedal gets out all the annoying feedback and that humming noise when you have your distortion on. it is great if you play metal and use alot of distortion. it doesnt effect your sustain or attack at all unlike the noise suppressor boss made. if you want to get rid of feedback without it effecting your tone i suggest you get this pedal its well worth the money.
